For those who want to really experience the islands
life, then take an excursion or hire a car and visit
some of the towns and villages of the Island. Nothing
is to far away on Tenerife and so several of the places
listed below can easily be visited in between days
on the beach.

Experience
the real Tenerife.

These are the places where
you will see real Tenerife life, eat real Canarian food
and see scenery you will remember for the rest of your
life.

For the purposes of this guide we have started in the
North West of the Island at Buenavista, then down the
West Coast to Los Cristianos then up the East Coast
to Santa Cruz then along the North Coast back to Buenavista.

Western
Tenerife.

Buenavista
Del Norte
The Teno Massif Rural Park, which is one of the oldest
geological formations on the Island, takes up the majority
of this Municipality. Being very fertile, the area is
primarily involved in agriculture and farming, producing
good quality crops and livestock. You could until recently
stop at the roadside and buy goats cheese straight from
the goat herders cottage.

Wood, straw and cane are further examples of the craft
products important to this region. Explore the town
itself, which still retains its Canarian traditions
alongside Andalousian influences and is well worth a
visit, and don't miss going out to the Teno lighthouse
to the west of the town for its spectacular views.

Masca'Barranco de Masca' is somewhere everyone should
visit when in Tenerife. It is a small picturesque village,
set in a very steep lush valley that leads down to the
sea. The road is quite narrow with sharp bends and is
a little hazardous in places, but you can be assured
of an unforgettable experience.

On the way down you will pass vineyards, waterfalls,
cliffs and see some magnificent scenery, and you will
wonder at how the tiny houses manage to cling to their
precarious positions dotted in and around the valley.
Because it is such a popular tourist' attraction you
may find parking a little difficult, so get there early
to avoid disappointment.

Santiago Del TeideSantiago del Teide is high above Santiago Port.
The drive down from the town down to sea level is both
picturesque and exiting. This is a typical Canarian
town and a wonderful place to wander around. Picturesque
places for excursions are Acantilado, Masca, Tamaimo
and the high Cherfe - a tourist vantage point with magnificent
sights. Sports, fishing and hunting are also popular
in this area.

Los Gigantes Los Gigantes rests at the foot of the Teno mountain
range with the beach and harbour area set at the foot
of the spectacular cliffs. The harbour area has some
lovely shops, bars and restaurants along one side and
there is also a popular Lido on the sea front. Los Gigantes
is a very pretty resort nestling between the area's
natural rocky confines and the Atlantic Ocean.

It has a climate that is second to none in the Canaries,
some beautiful scenery and many amenities. Right next
to the public beach is the marina, where you will find
an array of private boats and yachts moored alongside
the boats which take visitors out to see the dolphin
and whale colonies which live between the west coast
of Tenerife and the neighbouring island of La Gomera.

Puerto de Santiago Between Playa de la Arena and Los Gigantes, the
resort is rather sprawling, a mixture of homes, hotels
and apartments. As you would expect from a tourist resort,
there is an assortment or bars, shops, restaurants,
a post office, but little in the way of nightlife. As
there is a large number of locals resident in the area
you'll find some excellent Canarian food available in
the traditional restaurants.

Like Los Gigantes, the roads throughout Puerto Santiago
are very hilly and may not be suitable for the elderly,
the infirm or wheelchair users. Rocky area good for
snorkelling.. It was a quiet resort with a village atmosphere
but there is still lots to do you'll find a small fishing
port but you're limited in terms of beaches and there
is little in the way of nightlife.

Puerto de la Arena For a relatively small resort, Playa de la Arena
boasts a diverse array of bars and restaurants of all
shapes and sizes. Although 'nightlife' in the sense
of clubs and discos, undoubtedly exists, s on a much
smaller scale than the larger resorts in the south.
Playa de la Arena's beach has gentle gradient and often
calm waters which are generally safe for children. This
is a good centre for holidays with the children and
is in an area that offers many excellent excursions.

Guia de Isora Guia de Isora is a prominent agricultural production
centre for tomatoes and bananas. When travelling up
to the Volcanic splendour of "Teide" from here, one
can enjoy some of the most beautiful landscapes of the
Southern part of the Island. The once arid landscape
of the Isora Badlands has been transformed into fertile
farmland.

In November the festival of the Volcano commemorates
the eruption of Chinyero, and is the perfect opportunity
to taste the local specialties. Again another lovely
Canarian town, cooler than on the coast and always has
a feeling of being spacious and bright. As with all
of these towns a good wonder around brings its rewards.

San JuanPlaya de San Juan is situated on West coast.
This small town has a growing tourist market but still
retains is Spanish roots. Dark sand beach and good swimming.
A car is recommended to visit other parts of island.
Playa San Juan has retained its Spanish roots and a
lively fiesta lights up the resort in early August when
the Virgen del Carmen is taken down to the fishing boats
amidst dancing and fireworks.

A fishing harbour a market and new development over
recent years has transformed this resort. A new 5 star
hotel and golf course not to far from San Juan has upgraded
the whole area.

Callao Salvaje A residential area of detached villas but increasing
its tourist and holiday home facilities all the time.
It is a few miles North West of Las Americas and Los
Cristianos and has one of the best and steadiest climates
on the islands. There is a small, basic beach and quite
a few bars and restaurants along the seafront. It is
very handy for the main resorts, but is a much more
peaceful and tranquil area.

Playa Paraiso This is a tourist resort through and through.
Previously there were really just four high rise hotels
that populated the resort although steady growth has
seen an increase in development with a better info structure
now existing. There is a beach-cum-pool that you have
to pay a little to get into but it is very nice.

The climate here is great and just a few minutes drive
away is Las Americas and Los Cristianos. It is a lively
little place at night with a selection of restaurants
and bars on offer, some of which provide live music
from the Las Americas cabaret circuit.

Southern
Tenerife.

La
Caleta A small quiet Spanish fishing village and now
resort, great snorkelling cove with flat rocks into
deeper water. Clear water over small flat reefs. Located
in the South of island La Caleta is, a growing resort
with many bars and restaurants. You can have a pleasant
and scenic walk by heading to Playa de las Americas,
along the coast path and through the exclusive resort
of Playa del Duque.

The path goes all the way to Los Cristianos. If you
walk in the opposite direction, away from Playa de las
Americas, you will find rough trails along the coast
to a couple of quiet coves used by both nudists and
non nudists.

Adeje Adeje is a fairly large very pretty town built
on a gentle slope heading up to the mountains. The tree
lined main street has an interesting selection of shops,
bars and excellent restaurants. It is mainly an agricultural
town, traditionally dedicated to banana and tomato harvests.
Its coast "Costa Adeje" has seen the development of
some of the best resorts on the island such as Torviscas,
Fanabe, Del Duque and Playa de Las Americas.

Adeje is also the location of the famous "Barranco
del Infierno", an impressive gorge with greatly steep
walls, decorated by amazing vegetation which rarely
lets sun-light through. Several burial caves used by
the Guanches have also been found.

Puerto Colon Another part of Las Americas that is particularly
worth visiting is Puerto Colon. The Marina at Puerto
Colon has a real feel of rich exclusivity to and is
an attractive place where you can browse around the
shops, then have a meal or drink while enjoying the
view over the adjoining beach or over the yachts moored
in the marina itself. It is the South of the Islands
main focus for boat/yacht excursions and fishing trips.

Las Americas Playa de Las Americas is the main tourist area
on the island and is very busy & exciting place.
Here you will find everything you need for your holiday
in the sun. There are restaurants with cuisines from
most parts of the world, Bars, Discos and Nightclubs
abound.

There are several beaches here, some small secluded
ones as well as many with long stretches of white fine
sand, these beaches stretch for many kilometres. Las
Americas is definitely the tourist centre that's the
favourite with the party set. So here you are, sunbathe
all morning, swim all afternoon, drink and dance all
night and there's still lots more if you can take it.

Las Cristianos It was a small picturesque fishing village on
the South coast and has become a magnificent all year
round resort because of its climate, location, hotel
facilities and a fish quay where you'll find an active
fleet of small fishing boats. Its magnificent Playa
de las Vistas beach is one of the biggest and best on
the island. From the busy Port there are daily departures
of ferries and hydrofoil to the islands of La Gomera,
La Palma and El Hierro.

From the inner harbour boat trips and excursions depart
for coastal trips, to see the Whales and Dolphins and
a wide range of excursions. Because the town is based
on a fishing village the centre has more charm and has
made it a top tourist resort. At night Los Cristianos
retains a much quieter and more sophisticated charm
than its neighbour Las Americas.

AronaArona town is the administrative centre
for the Municipality of Arona. The town itself is a
wonderful Canarian town/village and well worth a visit
in its own right. There are some really good restaurants
and the scenery surrounding the town is magnificent.

main access route heading up Mt. Teide, gives its name
to one of the most important tourist areas in the island.
Its coastal plain includes some of the islands top resorts.

Volcanic Mt. Teide, will find the road takes them around
the village, but stop!
